Perfection & Professionalism in Practice


Our mission is to provide high quality, personalised medical care at reasonable prices for our patients. We believe in compassionate and professional care for our patients and perfection in the art of medicine based on more than 20 years of experience, backed up by the latest scientific knowledge.

We specialize in Gastroenterology & Hepatology, the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the digestive system and liver. The complex digestive system includes several organs: esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small and large intestines, liver, bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreas.

Abdomen pain is an especially common and complex condition in adults and children with many possible causes. Our experienced doctor is able to go through your history, examination and tests to identify the cause of your pain and prescribe the correct treatment and medications. He has a special interest in children with abdomen pain.

Painless colonoscopy is our doctor's special skill. Indeed, he is a Master of this procedure. His technique has evolved after many years of research and  the use of a gentle touch that combines Japanese and Western styles of endoscopy. For maximum patient safety and comfort, sedation is given and the procedure is performed in a hospital setting. Oxygen is administered and continuous monitoring of blood oxygen levels and pulse rate is routine. Some patients prefer to have the procedure done awake and this request can be accommodated on a case by case basis. Without sedation, "awake" colonoscopy may be slightly uncomfortable but tolerable. This painless technique has been requested particularly by fellow doctors and by patients who demand no sedation and yet do not mind a mild degree of discomfort. Safety is paramount and our track record is perfect for diagnostic colonoscopy: there have been  zero perforations and no sedation mishaps in over 10,000 examinations. Our doctor's personal philosophy is perfection and professionalism in practice. 

If you have symptoms of indigestion, bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, or problems with your liver such as jaundice, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis or liver cancer, we have the expertise to help you. If your condition is complex and requires multi-disciplinary care, we have a team of experienced physicians, surgeons and radiologists to look after you.

If you require specialised diagnostic and advanced endoscopic therapy, we offer a complete range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures ranging from gastroscopy, colonoscopy, video capsule endoscopy, ERCP to endoscopic ultrasound to help diagnose the cause of your problems and to treat the disease.

The clinic adopts a holistic approach to deal with all aspects of management of digestive, colorectal, liver and pancreatic disorders:

Prevention, screening and early diagnosis with the aims to prevent serious diseases from developing and detecting disease at an early stage when symptoms have not yet emerged.
